Rising prices are no surprise to anyone who has been following the actions of Ben Bernanke’s Fed. Two rounds of “quantitative easing” injected more than $2.3 trillion into bank reserves, and thus to some extent into the economy. The more money chasing products and services, the more those products and services cost.

Four Dems admit to Voter Fraud, Voting for Obama more than once

Three registered Democrats were arrested in Wake County, North Carolina for voting for Obama multiple times in the last election, according to WTVD: Brandon Earl McLean (25), Kierra Fontae Leache (26), and Shelia “Sheilia” Romona Hodges (46).

Immigration: Poverty in AmericaAs I walked out of the Colorado Convention Center, one man, wrapped in rags, curled himself around a steam vent on the sidewalk. A cardboard box served as a pillow. Cement served as his mattress. Along Colfax Avenue, hundreds of homeless begged for food or money. They slept in huddled misery under the loading docks and in doorways...http://www.newswithviews.com/Wooldridge/frosty688.htm

ACORN gearing up for 2012 Obama campaignThe ACORN/Project Vote gang has not gone away, and continues to help generate fraudulent voter registrations that can lead to voter fraud. Documents from the Colorado Department of State showing that ACORN and its affiliate, Project Vote, successfully pressured Colorado officials to implement new policies for increasing the registration of public assistance recipients during the 2008 and 2010 election seasons were..........http://www.newswithviews.com/NWV-News/news268.htm

How to Bring America Back from Economic RuinNo one in political leadership has the courage to present a clear plan for achieving a balanced budget and restoring American solvency. They know that doing so will offend major constituencies. They also know that not doing so will destroy the United States. They are willing to risk the destruction of this nation so long as it occurs after their terms in office. What they do not yet appreciate is that their inaction offends the vast majority of Americans and that before the nation comes tumbling down, its political leaders will......http://www.newswithviews.com/Emord/jonathan205.htm

In response to the GOP debate in Ames, Iowa last week, pro-amnesty activists declared that if Obama is defeated in 2012, Republicans would continue their iron-fisted policy against the undocumented and would bury any chance of immigration reform in the United States.

During the debate all eight Republican candidates rejected Obama’s notion of comprehensive immigration reform and place securing the U.S.-Mexico border as the number one priority in tackling the illegal immigration crisis facing our nation.

The Democratic Party has become the Lawyers Party.
Barack Obama is a lawyer.
Michelle Obama is a lawyer.
Hillary Clinton is a lawyer. Bill Clinton is a lawyer.
John Edwards is a lawyer.
Elizabeth Edwards was a lawyer.

Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not graduate).
Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen,

A reader pointed out in my last "Random Thoughts" that the possessive is "its," not "it's." Yes. I knew that, but try telling my fingers (okay, finger) which always types "it's." Sometimes I don't catch it. Sorry. But I also type "get's" a lot, and that's never right, go figure. Thankfully, spell check catches that error. Alas, when I think "there," my finger may type "their" or even "they're," requiring correction.

How come the media were quick to link the Darwinist Oslo shooter to Christian Conservatives (huh?), but couldn’t find any link by the Muslim Fort Hood shooter yelling "Allah Akbar" as he slaughtered his comrades to Islam?

Obama Unfit for Command! It’s Time for the Military Joint Chiefs of Staff to Take Action to Force Congress to Take Action. I Call on Them to Take Action and Have Outlined Herein a Plan of Action for Them to Follow

Once again we have an ordinary serviceman standing up on his own volition to demand that the Usurper-in-Chief be investigated to determine Obama’s true legal identity in response to the mountain of evidence that Obama has committed birth certificate fraud, SSN fraud, draft registration fraud, and real estate fraud. Obama’s true legal identity is not conclusively known. This time it is a serviceman in the Air Force named SSGT Daryn Moran. This should not be necessary. Soldiers in the ranks should not have to be demanding our leaders and Congress take action to investigate Obama. This should not be forced to be a bottom up action mode but should be a leadership lead initiative top down action mode to protect our country and the Constitution from a usurper.

Upon the dawn of the break of a fast, 9 Aug 11, I was awakened with a clear vision of a large and balding man, well known as a news analyst and host of a national radio talk show. It could have been Rush Limbaugh, but the color of the fringe on his head is black. His guest was a woman who spoke about an impending startling event in the world. I did not know the man's identity or the guest. Neither do I know what she had said to him. Nonetheless, the big man, usually quite vociferous, could not respond to the statement(s). Instead, he could only moan , grind his teeth, and could not frame his thoughts in words. All he could mutter was, 'Oh! Oh my . . . my God. Oh . . . no! What the . . .?' Hereafter, his face was drenched with beads of sweat and all he could utter was rapid shallow breathing. The man was obviously in a panic mode. I thought maybe I was the anxious one, but my face was dry and breathing normally.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently announced the Obama Administration will be working hand-in-glove with the UN to pass a new “Small Arms Treaty.”

Disguised as an “International Arms Control Treaty” to fight against “terrorism,” “insurgency” and “international crime syndicates,” the UN Small Arms Treaty is in fact a massive, GLOBAL gun control scheme.

Excerpt: Coburn, a doctor, has some strong ideas about Medicare and Medicaid, which, he said, provide “health-care coverage for approximately one in five Americans and, along with Social Security, make up the backbone of the federal safety net.” Among his proposals: raising the entry age for Medicare; means-testing beneficiary payments; raising some premiums for all seniors; increasing funding for investigating fraud and abuse of both systems; and freezing for 10 years the Medicare reimbursement rates for doctors. Why such dramatic steps? Coburn agrees with the Congressional Budget Office that the dramatic growth of federal spending on health care is “the single greatest threat to budget stability.” “Medicare and Medicaid consume one in five federal tax dollars,” according to Coburn, who adds, “Taxpayers lose an estimated $100 billion a year to waste, fraud and abuse in the two programs, which is the combined annual budget of three entire federal departments — Transportation, Homeland Security, and Housing and Urban Development.”

Dear Conservatives,If you want the rant to continue we pay every province in Afghanistan one million dollars a year, there are 26 provinces in Kandahar alone! This money is for restoration of streets, electric power, etc....however it has so influenced the "local" economies that if we try to "pull out" they will now collapse without continued moneys coming from us. We have replaced their economy with our War guilt payoffs. It's to their advantage to keep loosing a few rebels per day and keep the money coming in! Also a 15 minute fire fight in AF now costs us 1 million dollars. Some of the good big armaments we deploy are 300,000 a shot! They use one in almost every skirmish.

So of course we don't have money for decent living wages for our soldiers and their families, we're giving it all the the enemy we are fighting. No one ever talks about those "expenses" of the war! One battalion sent there last year in one year was in 153 armed confrontations with the Pakistanis, about 5 miles from the Pakistan border....think what that cost!

They Who Live by the Race Card Die by the Race Card

Due to Obama's declining poll numbers, Democrat tongues loosened by cocktails at parties are quietly suggesting,"Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could primary Obama out with Hillary? Darn it, we can't because Obama is black!"

I say,"Hallelujah -- a perfect example of divine justice." They who live by the race card die by the race card.

Almost three years ago, the Democrats offered their equivalent of a Trojan Horse to America in the form of a shiny, new, extremely well-crafted, beautiful black man. Its mega-internal speakers broadcast a hypnotic message, heavily reverbed to create a godlike effect and looped 24/7, promising "Hope and Change."

A "perfect storm" of circumstances led to America's enthusiastic embrace of the Democrats' ebony idol Trojan Horse: white guilt, black racism, and perhaps even the popularity of theAmerican IdolTV show. Obama was the first "rock star" American Ebony Idol presidential candidate.

Democrats were elated by their good fortune.

Obama would be the key to implementing all of their liberal-academia, utopia-producing theories, his black skin insulating him from any and all opposition. Oppose Obama? You're racist!

"We could end the deficit in five minutes. You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than three percent of GDP all sitting members of congress are ineligible for reelection."

We have seen Science Fiction movies before but NEVER thought something like this would be able to take place here on earth in real life experiences........this article, while long, is worth your attention........HAARP needs to be dismantled and the people controlling this, need to be 'put away' . I have wondered more that a little bit, if this 'drought' we are going through has not been manipulated by the HAARP installation in Alaska !.......Nancy

When a company falls on difficult times, one of the things that seems to happen is they reduce their staff and workers. The remaining workers must find ways to continue to do a good job or risk that their job would be eliminated as well.

Wall street and the media normally congratulate the CEO for making this type of "tough decision", and the board of directors gives upper corporate management big bonuses..

A fine history of the Marine Third Recon Battalion in Vietnam by an officer who served with recon and led patrols. This book is well-written, with a lot of attention to personal details, from the heroic to the humorous...to the tragic. The men of Third Recon earned four Medals of Honor, 13 Navy Crosses, 72 Silver Stars, and numerous Bronze Stars and Purple Hearts. They took many casualties and inflicted many more on a tough, professional enemy. The book had a personal note for me, an account of a rocket attack I was on the receiving end of in July of 1967, with details I didn't know. As a Radio Relay Team Chief, I was lucky enough to be in a much safer billet with Regt. HQ than these guys, but this book made me proud to have worn the same uniform. It will be appreciated by all Marines, everyone interested in military history or small unit operations, and those who appreciate human courage. ~Bob
